LAS is screening the documentary film “Brightness of Noon: The Intersect of Faith, Immigration and Refugees,” on Wednesday, October 17, (with a reception prior at 6pm). This film is the first of a two-part documentary series that explores “the risks people of faith are will to take to protect the human rights of those fleeing violence, and the struggles and triumphs of undocumented immigrants and refugees as they resettle in the United States.”

Following the screening, a facilitated panel of DePaul faculty and students, along with writer and producer Debra Gonsher Vinik, will discuss important aspects of, and questions raised by, the film and conclude with an open Q&A session with the audience.

On Friday, Oct. 5, the DePaul Honors Speakers Series will host a live podcast featuring a recent DePaul graduate and the unique, ongoing project that grew out of his Sociology master’s thesis. “Chicago Drill Rap and Activism: Exile, Refuge, and Resistance” will bring Caullen Hudson back to campus to lead and record a podcast conversation about Chicago and the international refugee experience and to screen the latest episode in the project’s Chi DNA micro-documentary series.

They are the products of SoapBox Productions and Organizing, a film production and social activism non-profit organization that utilizes creative projects and multi-media platforms on behalf of social change. Chicago Drill ‘n Activism, Chi DNA, emerged from Hudson’s master’s thesis in sociology in which he explored the development of two forms of resistance occurring in Chicago: drill rap, Chicago’s once-underground brand of gansta rap, and resurging grassroots activism. Chi DNA uses film and other forms of media to capture the words and lives of those involved in the two movements.

This free, public event is being co-sponsored by the Faculty Scholarship Support Center and the Department of Sociology. It will be held from 3:00-4:30 in SAC 161, 2320 N. Kenmore Ave., on DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus. For more information, contact [email protected]

Colleagues,

The Office of Academic Engagement at the Drug Policy Alliance is hosting a FREE webinar on data visualization. If you're interested in all things data viz, we encourage you to sign up and attend!

Details:

This webinar will cover principles of data presentation and slide design, with examples and a practical guide showing how to visualize data in an informative and aesthetically-pleasing manner. We have all seen beautiful graphs and slides, and terrible, confusing ones. In this webinar, we will help scientists (and anyone else who works with data) to ensure that they fall in the former category and not the latter!

Presenters: Holly Engstrom, Lucy De Souza, and Ellen Jopling of British Columbia Scientists for Evidence-Based Policies

When: September 24th at 2:00 PM Eastern /11:00 AM Pacific

This webinar is free, but you must register here to attend: https://bit.ly/2wGAPts
